25962.24 is what percent of 18 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 18 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 18, so we can write it down as 100%=18.
4. We know, that x% equals 25962.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25962.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18
2) x%=25962.24
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=18/25962.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25962.24 is what percent of 18

100%/x%=18/25962.24
(100/x)*x=(18/25962.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00069331459843218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00069331459843218) to get x
100/0.00069331459843218=x
144234.66666667=x
x=144234.66666667

now we have:
25962.24 is 144234.66666667% of 18
